Salmon

Did you know that Salmon is the most popular fish to eat in the USA? I guess that’s not surprising, it’s delicious and it’s actually full of health benefits!

Salmons are rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids, high in Vitamin B, and a great source of Potassium just to name a few.

If you’re wondering which fishes rank 2nd and 3rd in the states, we have Tuna in second place and Tilapia in third. Here’s a list of the 7 most popular fish in the USA if you want to read more.

Asparagus

In case you didn’t know, asparagus is super healthy for you! One cup of cooked asparagus has 40 calories, 4 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber and 404 milligrams of potassium.

That’s awesome because potassium is good for blood pressure. Asparagus is a nutrient-packed vegetable. It is a very good source of fiber, folate, vitamins A, C, E and K! Here’s more info!

How to make Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Salmon with Asparagus

First gather your ingredients:

16 oz salmon fillets (I’m using 2 8-oz salmon fillets)
Salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp parsley
1 tbsp shredded parmesan
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp onion powder
12 spears of asparagus
Cooking spray

Rinse your salmon and pat dry with a paper towel.

In a small bowl, mix together the seasoning – salt, black pepper, parsley, parmesan, garlic and onion powder.

Coat salmon filets with olive oil, and then rub seasoning on salmon.

Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place salmon filets in to the air fryer basket.

Air fry at 400 for about 7 minutes.

During this time, you can cut your asparagus (optional) – If your asparagus is too long for your air fryer (like mine), then slice them in half. Add olive oil, and optionally season as you’d like (salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder is a good start).

Place asparagus in the air fryer, and air fry another 7 minutes.
